Jill Pottle
"Thermos Cluster", contemporary, still life, retro, high chroma, oil painting

2014

About the Item

Jill Pottle’s still life titled “Thermos Cluster” is part of an ongoing series titled “Epic Still Life” involving collections of nostalgic household objects. In this 39 X 27 inch oil painting on stretched canvas, her delight is evident in her depiction of “retro” objects in relationship to each other. The animated spaces around the thermos create movement and flow; she uses stripes and high chroma to move the eye around the canvas. The canvas has a painted edge and is only one inch wide and can be easily framed. Known for her complicated and engaging still life and loose plein air work, Jill Pottle is a New Realist painter from Worcester County. Her aim is to capture movement and emotional qualities in her canvases. In her still life paintings, she most often uses retro or well-worn ordinary objects that focus attention on life in our contemporary world. In her landscapes, she freezes a moment in time to exemplify the power of the life force in nature. Rich brush work and high chroma characterize her fluid painterly style in both areas of subject matter. The play of light on different surfaces and the layering of paint create depth and resonance in her work. Pottle is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
